Properties of III-Nitride-Based Polariton and Spin Polariton Diode Lasers
(2018)
The cavity electrodynamic regime of strong coupling of emitter-photon interactions in a semiconductor microcavity gives rise to new light-matter entangled quasiparticles, also known as exciton-polaritons. The non-linear ...
Engineering Bicontinuous Interfaces for Enhanced Mechanical Performance
(2020)
In this work, we report on the evolution of phase-separated morphologies in co-sputtered Cu-Mo films as a result of varying substrate temperature and deposition rate during deposition. A transition from vertically-oriented ...
Purely Organic Triplet Emitters: From Fundamental Molecular Design to Performance Amplification in Modern Applications
(2022)
Emissive materials are the essential functional components in many modern and emerging technologies such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), solid-state lighting, sensors, and data encryption. Metal-free purely organic ...
New Methods for Terahertz and Ultrafast Infrared Spectroscopy of Biological Materials and Graphene Buffer Layer
(2019)
The development of advanced optical spectroscopy has always been a frontier in optics and material science. This dissertation develops several new methods for terahertz (THz) and infrared spectroscopy and presents their ...
Probing Heat Transport and Energy Conversion at the Atomic and Single Molecule Scale
(2018)
The study of heat transport and energy conversion constitutes an important subject in modern physics and engineering research. The widely-applied Fourier’s and Planck’s laws have proven to be very useful to describe heat ...
Design Principles for Nanocrystal Assembly Using Anisotropic Building Blocks
(2020)
Self-assembly of soft matter is a phenomena that can be influenced by multiple factors including particle shape, ligand decoration and thermodynamic properties such as temperature and pressure. In this highly anisotropic ...
Surface Dimer Engineering and Properties of GaAs(N)(Bi) Alloys
(2018)
Due to the significant bandgap narrowing induced by dilute fractions of N and Bi in III-V semiconductors, emerging dilute nitride-bismide semiconductor alloys are of significant interest for long-wavelength applications ...
Hsp70 chaperone Proteins and their Interactions with Various Drugs as Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
(2011)
Chaperone proteins and their cochaperones are perhaps one of the most intriguing systems for investigation. Ubiquitous in nature, they can be found in every organism and that perhaps is the reason that their sequence shows ...
